I bought the car in February, just for a daily while doing my civic project, how wrong I was
When i bought the car it had been modified as followd, The alloys, made by Rays...vented and drilled discs....aem v2 induction kit...lowered on tein springs...strut braced all round front and back both upper and lower (standard oem front brace has been changed)...the hideous carbon kevlar bonnet...smoothed GReddy front lip...engine start button

I have not yet done a lot to the car as it has been a daily driver for me, until now Sold the civic project so i can focus on this. I purchased a GReddy EVO 2 exhaust system and a mugen mani from A1ex and got that fitted at local garage called Autobahn...the guys are great both honda nuts...in the past the garage has produced some monster integras for the track and also big old american muscle restorations that get shipped out to Oz.

As some of you already know the car was given a major setback a month or so ago...when travelling back from seeing my girl in Edinburgh I was on the inside lane going onto a roundabout (so technically the roundabouts outside lane) some idiot of a lorry driver decided to cut the lanes as we exited the roundabout and took out the back end

to make it worse the lorry driver just drove off leaving me facing oncoming traffic (if there had actually been anyone else about)! When he hit the car my wheel or his must have bound on something as the rear end went up in the air and when it came back to earth the car spun out!!
Nerves through the roof we soldiered home, and the car held it together, and i went and got bladdered
I took the car to my parents house the next day so i could use the drive way. I went to town with the bottom of a set of crutches and some wet and dry paper with plenty of ultimate compound. this was the result

I have also replaced the rear light with one of a lude being broke for parts.
